Disabilities Under Utah Law

Utah and Federal laws both protect individuals with disabilities from discrimination in the workplace. These laws provide individuals with disabilities in Washington equal opportunities for getting hired and being advanced in ther respective professions. Disability laws also require employers to include reasonable accomodations in order that disabled people may correctly perform their job.

Utah Employment for the Disabled

Discrimination against disabled individuals is illegal under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), whether the employer is the government or a private agency. In Utah, any employer decisions to hire, assign a job position, or issue a promotion can not be based on a person's disability.

In addition to equal treatment, Washington employers must also provide any special equipment the disabled may need to perform their duties, as long as the cost of the equipment is reasonable. Additionally, the ADA makes it illegal to discriminate against persons based on their relationship to persons who have a disability requiring special needs.

09/14/2008Attorney C. is very straight forward and doesn't mince words. She explains options very clearly and seems very knowledgeable from what I could tell. We had a slight mis-understanding at the start but we worked things out and I was completely satisfied in the work she did for me. I would highly recommend her if she replies to your request.
